Prodigy

Chapter 69: Behind the scenes agreement (Part 1)

"Your strategy today was good and did not arouse suspicion." Returning to the guest room at night, Du Bisheng was very satisfied with Zheng Yubai's performance.

"Who is that Shen Huaiyu? I think she's very powerful." Zheng Yubai thought of his opponent and couldn't help but feel a little scared. At the poker table, Shen Huaiyu was like a she-wolf, constantly looking for opportunities. Once the opponent made a mistake, she would immediately pounce on the opponent and tear him to pieces.

"Shen Huaiyu, hehe, she is an old gambler. I often saw her when I was in Macau. At that time, she was hooking up with a rich man in Macau, and gambled wildly in the casino every day. She was very aggressive in gambling and was known as the Macau She-Wolf." Du Bisheng said.

"This nickname is quite appropriate." Zheng Yubai said with a smile.

"You were smart not to face her head-on today. This is just the preliminaries. The real difficulty is yet to come. After the groups are divided tomorrow, it will be the real competition among the masters."

Zheng Yubai nodded. Although he seemed to have done nothing in the gambling game, he was actually feeling the atmosphere of the gambling game. The God of Gamblers Competition was completely different from playing mahjong and Pai Gow with Qi Ye and the others. Here, there were all cunning gamblers. If you were not careful, you would fall into the abyss and never recover. After observing and experiencing the preliminaries, Zheng Yubai believed that he could adapt to this tense environment. Tomorrow would be the time for him to truly show his strength.

“Ding-ling…” The doorbell rang.

Who could it be at this late hour? Tang Qing had already gone to sleep, could it be Fang Hongjin? Zheng Yubai was puzzled and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Zheng Yubai was surprised to see Tang Qing and Xu Jin appearing at the door.

"Cousin, this lady is looking for you next door..." Tang Qing smiled mysteriously, "I've sent the person to you, you two can chat slowly." After saying this, she wanted to leave but stayed, and slowly went back to her room.

Xu Jin looked Zheng Yubai up and down, as if she didn't know him. She was wearing a black Chinese cheongsam, which fully showed off her beautiful figure. The tattoo on her arm and the black cheongsam complemented each other, with a mysterious beauty like a flower of evil, which just highlighted Xu Jin's sexiness and beauty.

"Is it inconvenient to disturb you so late?" Xu Jin smiled slightly, looking extremely beautiful.

"My friend and I are sharing a room. If you don't mind, we can chat on the deck." Zheng Yubai said, scratching his head.

Xu Jin nodded, and the two walked through the long corridor without saying a word, and soon came to the deck. It was already midnight, and there were still many leisure places in service on the cruise ship. After all, the winners and losers of the preliminaries had enough reasons to enjoy a night.

There were many people drinking and chatting on the deck, and Zheng Yubai and Xu Jin found a secluded corner. The night and the sea in the distance mixed together, making it impossible to distinguish. There were a few lights in the pitch-black starry night, which were lighthouses guiding the night ship.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." After a long silence, Zheng Yubai finally spoke.

At the same time Zheng Yubai spoke, Xu Jin probably felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, and actually said the same thing.

This kind of "telepathy" made the two of them laugh, clearing away the awkward atmosphere.

"It's such a small world..." Xu Jin smiled for a while and said seriously, "Seeing you compete in the God of Gamblers Contest is one of the biggest surprises in my life."

"Actually, I've always had a lot of questions I wanted to ask you, but now that I've met you, I think I don't need to ask many of these questions anymore," Zheng Yubai said.

"Then don't ask anymore. I'm afraid we both have a lot of secrets. I have to say, I misjudged you." Xu Jin said. Compared to her cold and arrogant attitude when she first met her, her current attitude made Zheng Yubai feel much more comfortable.

"After getting off the boat, can we pretend that nothing happened on the boat?" Xu Jin suddenly said.

"Very good, that's exactly what I wanted to say." Zheng Yubai responded.

Xu Jin is full of mysteries, and so is Zheng Yubai. The two of them smiled at each other knowingly, and everything was self-explanatory.

Since both parties tacitly chose to avoid certain secrets, the topic naturally shifted to other things of interest.

"I hope you can go far in the competition." Xu Jin said, "Please teach me some card playing skills when you have time in the future."

"No problem. You have long fingers and they look very flexible. It should be easy to learn."

Xu Jin responded to Zheng Yubai's compliment with a very seductive sweet smile. In the night, Xu Jin's charm seemed to be fully released. This smile made Zheng Yubai a little infatuated.

Among the beautiful girls Zheng Yubai knew, Yang Feiyan and Susu were both like children, the only difference being that one was as flamboyant as a flame, and the other as gentle as flowing water. Ding Beibei, on the other hand, had the temperament of an intellectual woman, with a Chinese charm. They were all first-class beauties, but compared to Xu Jin, they were both as innocent as children.

There is a saying that if a man is not bad, women will not love him. In fact, the gender is reversed, and it is the same. If a woman is a little bad, there must be more men pursuing her. This does not mean that men are flies chasing after stench. It is that "bad women" have a taste that makes men feel stimulating. This kind of stimulation is exactly "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal." In the eyes of men, Xu Jin is a dark night rose that cannot be stolen. Although it has thorns that prick people, it makes men want to pick it without hesitation.

This infatuated feeling is very similar to being drunk. Many men are addicted to it and don't want to wake up. However, Zheng Yubai is not an ordinary man. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has a strong concentration. He knows that even if he is attracted to someone, he will never be shaken. At this moment, he is in a trance and seems unable to control his will. Only a trace of obsession in the deepest part is still clear.

No matter how beautiful the fantasy is, it is not real life after all. Zheng Yubai suddenly realized something in his heart. He clenched his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue. The pain stimulated his nerves and his mind suddenly became clear.

"What a brilliant illusion..." Zheng Yubai regained consciousness. He realized that the change in his mentality was Xu Jin's use of a brilliant illusion to test him. If he had not had a certain level of concentration and had not learned the beautiful smile from Du Bisheng, he would have been fooled by Xu Jin.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to test your skills." Xu Jin smiled apologetically, "Please don't mind."

"I don't mind, I don't mind." Although he was unhappy with Xu Jin's sudden probing move, Zheng Yubai still expressed his indifferent attitude in a gentlemanly manner, because he found that Xu Jin seemed to have something else to say.

Sure enough, Xu Jin said: "I came to the ship to do a business. If you don't mind, maybe we can cooperate. As for the reward, I can guarantee that it will not be less than what you get for the title of God of Gamblers." (To be continued)
